Considering the XRS has 158hp stock, it's easy to say that it would have to have quite a few mods to take an S, even in a straight line.

no, the TRD supercharger, is only offered to the 2.4L camary or the tc. but i think the new corolla has a 2.4L so it could but the one in the video is the older one with the 1.8L. and even with the supercharger the 2.4L will only make to about 200hp.

Stock for stock not a chance , but if XRS is mods then anything can happen on the street.

I believe it, and you guys should too.

Stock for stock of course, not a chance for the XRS. But believe me or not, they take to minor bolt-ons pretty well, and the fact that they weigh nothing, really helps them.

A buddy of mine has one with Hydra EMS, intake, exhaust, and headers, a bored throttle body, Hondata IMG and a Standalone ECU, plus some weight reduction.

For the longest I heard "it runs hard, it runs hard". But never new how hard until I ran him in my G35 coupe! It was damn close with me only gaining inches in 5th gear!

LOL @ S2000 owners turning their noses up at the 2zz-ge powered car. I expected nothing else!

Great motor.
